A study of TRUMPET in scripture reveals a lot of truth.
In the Old Testament after the Israelites left Egypt, the trumpet was used to communicate to them, to call them to Order, to Battle, for the Feasts. NUMBERS 10:4 And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, …, shall gather themselves unto thee.
See EXODUS 19:13, 16, 19; 20:18, LEVITICUS 25:9, JOSHUA 6:5, 20;
JUDGES 3:27, 6:34, 7:16, 18
As seen in the verses above, the TRUMPET continued to lead them as the took over and lived in the promise land. All through Israel’s history 1 SAMUEL 13:3 …And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear. See 2 Samuel 2:28; 6:15; 15:10; 18:16; 20:1, 22; 1 Kings 1:34, 39, 41;
Nehemiah 4:20; Job 39:24-25; Psalm 47:5; 84:3; 98:6; 150:3; Isaiah 18:3; 27:13; 58:1; Jeremiah 4:5, 19, 21; 6:1, 17; 42:14; 51:27; Ezekiel 7:14; 33:3-6; Hosea 5:8; 8:1; Joel 2:1, 15; Amos 2:2; 3:6; Zephaniah 1:16; 9:14.
And as we study history even down to the present day military, the Trumpet is used to communicate.
Paul warns of the miss use of the trumpet 1 Corinthians 14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
The Trumpet plays a great roll during the Tribulation, especially during the last 3 ½ years. Revelation 1:10, 4:1 8:2,6,3, 9:14, 18:2.
The Lord Jesus forewarned Israel about His coming, at the end of the great Tribulation.
Matthew 24:30-31 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
But there is a Trumpet all believers are listening to hear. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. So, as believers, the next TRUMPET we are waiting for is:
THE TRUMP OF GOD!!
